You probably know Marshall Fritz -- the highly esteemed founder of the Advocates for Self-Government. You may not have heard about his serious health problems.

We am sad to report that Marshall has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Doctors give him 6-20 months to live, with a 50:50 chance of living one year.

As of this writing (May 5, 2008), Marshall is feeling quite well -- and he's in excellent spirits!

The Advocates sponsored a wonderful dinner, reception, and celebration on May 3, 2008. Video of the celebration  -- including a great speech by Marshall -- will be available soon.

Two other great events are planned to celebrate his life and to give him the opportunity to spend time with friends:

The Alliance for the Separation of School and State will host a tribute event, June 21st, in Los Angeles.

Fresno friends are hosting a barbecue for Marshall on  Saturday, June 7. To attend the barbecue, just send an email.  Or call 559-499-1776 - or toll free 888-325-1776.
